• 5 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it will not cost any shilling more than the negotiated figure. When we did our negotiations, we ensured that there was not going to be any difference in terms of the costing when we finally have the power from the Ethiopian side. We are paying at the exact rate that is acceptable to our consumers here in our country. view
• 5 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Ministry is definitely ensuring that we move fast. As soon as we make up with the connections---. As you know, we are currently operating almost at par in terms of power generation and consumption. I want to report to the House that Kenya is part of what we call the East Africa Power Pool Countries which have agreed to share the electricity generated within all the five countries of the East Africa Community, including Ethiopia, Sudan and Egypt. I want to believe that once we ascertain the amount of electricity that we require, we will definitely ... view
• 5 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I said, the Kenya Government signed an agreement with the Ethiopian Government. Our own institutions which deal with electricity supply, that is, the Kenya Power and the Rural Electrification Authority together with the Ethiopian Corporation for Power and Lighting before we, as Governments, signed the agreements. We ensured that they made provisions for such emergency services which may occur on either side. We also agreed that if the fault is in either of the countries, each institution within each of the two countries should be able to take the responsibility of ensuring that power is restored. view
• 5 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: So, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to assure the hon. Member, Mr. M.M. Ali, who is my friend that he does not have to worry. We will ensure that he has lights. We will also ensure that he has enough energy to serve the purpose that is required. view
• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that electricity projects at Ikatini Market, Ikatini Secondary School, Kathiini Market, Kathiini borehole, Kathiini dispensary, Itunduimuni Market, Itunduimuni dispensary, Mathauta Secondary School, Kwawanzilu Market, Kwanwanzilu borehole and Kwawanzilu Secondary School were commissioned in 2008. (b) I am also aware that all these institutions were supplied with singe phase transformers. (c) Kenya Power Company (KPC) will replace single phase transformers with three-phase ones when consumption of power in each area demonstrates the need for three-phase electricity connectivity. I would also like to add that single phase transformers are ... view
• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if the hon. Member heard me clearly, I said that the single phase transformers are always fixed and the three-phase ones can be put on demand and while I appreciate the fact that these are public institutions if--- view
• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in all public institutions, we supply electricity on demand. We have provided the connectivity. The transformer installations depend on what the customer requests to be connected with. If they ask for a single phase connection that is what is going to be done. The hon. Member has just confirmed that it was a stop gap measure to allow his people celebrate Christmas. So, I think he is confirming that there was an arrangement and since he has brought this to my attention, I am going to ensure that the promise is fulfilled, the way it ... view
• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I said that if there is a demand we will do that and since the hon. Member has raised the issue, I am going to instruct my officers, especially the KPC to ensure that this is done with immediate effect and it also applies to any other connections that need to be done for the public and that requires a three-phase connection. It is not really a problem to change the transformers. We have them. We have single phase and the three- phase ones and we do not need to put a three-phase transformer ... view
• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, transformers that we put up are above board in terms of the standard specifications. However, you cannot rule out a situation where we have transformers blowing. I think we have been able to replace and ensure that Kenyans remain connected. I would also want to urge the hon. Members to help us since some members of the public have a habit of siphoning oil from transformers. So, if we work together in this way, we will be able to secure more funds and ensure that more Kenyans get connected rather than replacing a transformer that ... view
• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am an Assistant Minister in the Ministry of Energy. So, I can answer any time. view
